Why do we have the police?
This newspaper, on July 11, 2017, reported that a journalist in Rajshahi was brutally attacked by Chhatra League men for taking snapshots of a bus vandalised by BCL men. The most alarming part is that the policemen present at the spot didn't protect him. They came to send him to the hospital after he had already been beaten up. It is a troubling revelation of how scared our administration is of the country's politically-backed student wings to take measures against them.
I strongly condemn this attack. Why do we have the police? Are they appointed to protect political miscreants, or to serve the people of this country? The police must be more accountable for our security. They should have to answer to the authorities if they fail to take actions against anarchy.
